Comment	First baseball game in Raleigh? Both units had a baseball history. The 48th was photoed playing baseball in Fort Pulaski in 1862, the only verified photo of CW soldiers playing baseball. The 47th included among their members Ed Pinkham, who later played professionally. Edit with form to add a comment
